Megatron Rocks!The premium version is alot more realistic and detailed than the original version with all the great features.The advanced automorph technology triggers electronic lights and sounds around the chest,eyes,and shoulder decor.I know most people prefer the Megatron of G1 in his handgun form,but this is an awesome figure that if you are a Megatron fan you must consider.Megatron comes with a Rocket Claw that becomes a Chain Whip on one arm which he uses to do some damage in his escape from section 7 in the movie.Another cool feature is that his arms combine to form a Fusion Cannon just like he did in the movie as well.The detail from top to bottom is some of the best around and really gives Megatron a more realistic look.His vehicle mode is a cybertron jet mode which is very sweet looking once you get him to his vehicle mode.The poseability for battles with Optimus or other autobots is simply the best.The transformation level is super conversion or advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is still a challenging difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you will have to help some in the process.Megatron is on awesome transformer,but he can be very challenging for a younger age group.The trickiest part of the transformation is getting Megatron's legs positioned just right in vechicle mode.This part can take some practice and patience.The durability of Megatron is outstanding to say the least.He can take whatever comes his way and then some.Bottom line Megatron Premium Leader is a high quality,well-made,10 out of 10 figure that all transformer fans should enjoy.I highly recommend Megatron Premium Leader to all transformer fans and collectors alike.Transformers Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a really great toy. It has a smooth metallic silver color, which is exactly how he appears in the movie, and it is very durable. Do not purchase the other leader class, which has a discoloration gray and is not the color portrayed in the film. If you are looking for a true Megatron similar to the film, than buy this premium leader class. Megatron rocks!!!

I was skeptical at first about buying leader megatron because of the bad paint job. I am glad I waited for the Premium series. His repaint is AWESOME! on top of it he's a great figure and relatively easy to transform.

Bought this toy for 5 year old grandson. He, and his two older brothers, love it.

Let me start by saying I initially HATED Megatron's movie design. While I knew he couldn't really logically turn into a smaller handgun in a live-action film, I felt that a tank or a huge ground-cannon would have still been more preferable than what we actually got.
As time went on though I watched the movie a couple more times and I started to like the less intelligent and more brutal interpretation of the character. I started to realize that his monstrous/demonic/alien appearance really worked well with the new interpretation of the character and I started to really become a fan of the new design/look for the character so that made the release of the movie leader figure all the more painful to me. The initial Movie Leader Megatron was, for lack of a more brilliant critique, a piece of trash. It was a travesty to have to see him get the weird white, pink and blue colors that he didn't have in the movie. The voyager-class version was a little better than the horrible fugly leader-class Megs but it still didn't accurately capture the movie design in my humble opinion.
The great thing about Hasbro though is they certainly know how to redeem themselves for their mistakes and the premium series was like a gift from the Heavens to us Transformers fans who actually liked the movie designs but hated the initial movie figures with the poor paint decos and horrible QC (quality control) issues.
So fear not, the few of you out there who actually like Megatron's movie design. Premium Megatron is, as much as I hate the expression "all that and a bag of chips." Hasbro really got the dark grey/silver colors from the movie down and the paint aps look great. They aren't "Jin Saotome (a world-famous action-figure customizer) great" but they're great nonetheless and they really make the figure stand out on your shelves. There's even really subtle "battle damage" and burns that you can see if you pick the toy up and check out all the neat features and gimmicks.
In these days where the economy is pretty weak it's hard to justify paying $50+ for a figure but Premium Leader Megatron is definitely worth the $$$ if you love the movie design and were disappointed by the way the first Leader Megs turned out.
I don't know if little kids would really like this guy or not but as a collector and fan of "Movie Megatron" I really felt like I got a good quality toy for what I paid when I bought him.

It's a fun toy. It's a little hard to transform at first, but becomes easier with time.

To be sincere I found the regular version of this toy several times at retail, however it had something that prevented me to make the purchase...But then, when I learned the premium line was about to be released and Meg would be repainted in realistic colors, I took the chance to have him at a decent price. The toy is an OK representation of what we saw in the movie, the alternate mode is also OK, if you take in consideration that it was a cybertronina jet. I recommend it if A: You dont own any and B: if you can get it for the regular retail price or less.

Best Transformer in its class. Blows away Optimus even and is more fun cause, unlike Premium Optimus, it isn't always "untransforming" when you move it or try to play with it - everything stays put, it's fun, and it really looks and feels COOL. Best Megatron transformer they make, hands down.

You can't beat Amazon for value pricing on hard-to-find Japanese toys. Quality manufacturing and great display quality make this a great purchase.

This is a nice megatron better than the takara but not the best leader class figure
but certainly an awesome repaint job for me is not worth more than 40 bucks!!!
